Knoll is still covering for Ben and Dean & Deluca. He and Felicity are both behind the counter when he asks her for a "casually profound, but not glib" sentence on the artist, Jeff Koons. How about "money-grubbing opportunist"? I mean that in a totally non-glib way, of course. Felicity asks if Knoll it's for a class and Knoll says it's for a project he's working on. Felicity laughs, "Oh yeah, what's her name?" Knoll mumbles bashfully for a few seconds and Felicity's Koonsian insight is: "He takes mundane things and turns them into icons, making us rethink everyday objects." She fails to add, "And then sells them for obscene amounts of money." Knoll calls her a genius and writes down what she said. Javier comes in, pushing a stroller containing his delightfully cute nephew, Isaiah. Felicity coos at the baby and Javier asks to speak to her privately. Knoll asks Javier if he wants him to watch the baby. Javier responds, "Yes. How perceptive of you," and then he encourages Knoll to make monkey faces at Isaiah. If Knoll flares his Knollstrils more than usual while doing his simian impression, I fear the child will be scarred for life. Javier and Felicity sit down at a table and he tells her about how much joy Isaiah is giving him and that he and Samuel have decided to become parents. Felicity is thrilled for them and thinks they'll be wonderful parents. He says, "Would you ever consider having a baby with me?" She wonders whether he's kidding and he lets her know that he is not. Apparently, she has his "most favourite genes, and [he's] not talking Jordache, of course." He reassures her that if she says no, it's okay, then he asks, "Would you be the mother of my child?" Felicity stares in disbelief. Cut to the credits.
Ben and Felicity are in the kitchen at the loft, preparing food. He's describing how the Al-Anon meetings work and that some of the people have "some really messed-up stuff" going on. When Felicity pries into what kind of stuff, he explains that he can't discuss it outside of the meeting because "it's anonymous." Felicity understands but then prods a bit more and asks if he said anything at the meeting. He says he just listened and didn't say anything, but he asks her how work was. She mentions that Javier wants her to donate an egg so that he and Samuel can have a child. Ben thinks she's kidding until she makes it clear that she is not. She explains the "harvesting" process, and that Javier and Samuel have been looking through catalogues of potential mothers and concluded that route was too much like ordering furniture. Ben is pretty much against the whole idea and asks if she's considering doing it. She says she isn't, but it's clear she hasn't completely made up her mind yet.
In a stairwell at school, Elena runs after Tracy. She complains that she's been phoning and looking for him because she's having "a complete Physics meltdown" and she's wondering if they're going to have a "study session." Tracy coldly replies, "I am." When Elena asks what he means, he tells her that Finn told him about the fling. She stands there, one step below him, indicating that he's on morally higher ground, and tries to explain. He doesn't want to hear her explanations because she "slept with Finn, that's all [he] need[s] to know." She simpers that she knows it was a horrible thing to do but he cuts her off: "Ever since we've been going out, you've had a problem with me and not having sex." She whines that wasn't the problem, the problem was that she was confused. Tracy continues up the stairs, with Elena following. At the top of the stairs, he turns around and says, "You've had your sex now, I hope it was worth it." She pleads, "No, baby, it wasn't worth it." He snaps, "Who you calling your baby? I'm not your baby." And with that, he stomps away, leaving Elena snapping at flies. I think she should consider herself lucky that he acted so civilly toward her. I might have screamed that she was a bitch, told her to lose my number, and turned on my heel.
Knoll and Jane are walking down the street, discussing an Australian Aboriginal dance company performance that they've just seen. Knoll didn't really get it and Jane says that's okay. They approach a pretzel vendor and he asks if she wants one. She does, so he says to the vendor, "One for the lady and one for the Philistine." When Knoll goes to pay, she notices a tag from the Met on his knapsack. He mentions that there's an exhibition of one of his favourite artists "hung" there. She enthuses about Jeff Koons while Knoll acts surprised that she knows who he is, then trots out the line Felicity gave him. Jane flirts with reality for a nanosecond and wonders how it is that Knoll just "dropped out of nowhere" into her life when they have so much in common. It seems like Knoll is about to tell the truth but at the last minute he weasels out with some line about "the planets aligning" and his "getting lucky." He moves in for a kiss and at the last minute Jane proffers her cheek. He apologizes then she apologizes and mentions that there's someone else: an old friend. He mumbles, "I know," which confuses Jane. Knoll covers by saying that he knows that it's confusing "in that situation." Jane just wants to be honest with him because honesty is really important to her. Knoll concurs that it is to him, too. She grins and adds that it's another they have "in common."
